Produced by David Starner, Louise Pryor and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "An Apologie for the Royal Party" by John Evelyn is a historical pamphlet written in the late 17th century. The work primarily addresses the political and social tensions of its time, particularly focusing on Evelyn's defense of royalist values in the face of growing parliamentary power and military rule during the English Civil War period. The text embodies passionate arguments for the legitimacy of monarchy and critiques the actions of those who opposed King Charles I. At the start of the pamphlet, Evelyn introduces his thoughts as a response to a political pamphlet published by the army that justifies its actions against the crown. He fervently argues against the ideologies that led to the King's downfall, detailing the injustices and tyranny that characterized the rule of the time. Evelyn reflects on the chaos and moral decay that have resulted from the displacement of the monarchy, presenting a call for restoration and a return to order, all while invoking biblical references to underline the gravity of his convictions. The opening sets the stage for a deeply personal yet politically charged appeal, highlighting Evelyn's sincere concern for the fate of his country amidst its tumultuous circumstances.
